Kinect is Microsoft's answer to the Wii and competition to Playstation Move. I must admit, I hadn't actually heard of Playstation Move until I started researching games consoles in my decision to purchase one. In any case both of these two competitors require a remote to track motion; Kinect is the first to work with nothing. You are the controller and this is what gives it the edge. I am not one to describe the length and colour of a product because for the majority of the time it is not necessary but for this product that is going to be sitting in view by your TV I feel it would be helpful. The dimensions of the sensor are 11'' x 2.5'' x 1.5'' and it is ...  Read the complete review

Microsoft Kinect for Xbox 360 We bought our Xbox 360 and the kinect sensor as a bundle package about 6 months ago and I really like the sensor as it makes the games even more interactive and in my opinion it makes the Nintendo Wii look a bit outdated. The kinect sensor can be bought as part of a bundle package or separately but I think it is more cost effective to buy it as part of a bundle (if you do not have an xbox 360 already). - Description and specifications *3D depth sensors *RGB (red blue green) camera *Multiple microphones *Motorized tilt *Depth sensor range: 1.2m - 3.5m *Skeletal tracking system - ...  Read the complete review

If you are reading this review before going out and buying Kinect read on, if you all ready have it and just want to see other peoples opinions on this then you are free to skip this section! *Make sure you have the room. Kinect acts very much like the Wii only much better! With the Wii you pretty much need to keep the remote in the sensor bars range. Kinect uses your whole body as a giant remote. You do need a lot of space in order to use this, I am quite lucky as my front room and living room are together so to speak with just a large arch in ...  Read the complete review

For my brothers 18th birthday I decided that the best gift for him would be xbox's answer to the wii the kinect. This product is particularly good as it involves no controllers and therefore helps you to stay healthy whilst having fun.

However due to the fact that this was a gift and I am very short on money due to the fact that I am student I decided to buy the ...  Read the complete review

**What is it?** The 'Kinect' sensor bar is an optional purchase for owners of the Microsoft XBOX 360 games console, and enables the user to play games (Kinect compatible titles only) using their whole body movements tracked by the 3 cameras on the sensor bar. **What does it cost?** Kinect retailed at around £100-£115 on launch but can now be picked up for around £80, and came bundled with a Kinect compatible game called Kinect Adventures. This game was widely seen as an introduction to how the Kinect worked and show what capabilities it had. For the fact that the game was 'free', it is actually pretty good fun in 2 player mode with ...  Read the complete review
